People will remember more if you space out some of the learning.  You can provide little follow-up sessions to the course where they get refresher content.  I once designed a course for project managers.  After the elearning course, we sent out a series of planned emails. 
- Ben Darr on 29 Mar 11
  
  We can send out timed emails to teachers after a session. Use gmail and tasks. Compose a draft email. Go to the "Draft" folder and check the box next to the email you plan on sending out. Go up to "More actions". On the dropdown menue, choose "Add to Tasks". Then you can save that task to a specific date. Of course, you need to check on your google tasks or set an alarm for that task. The point is you can plan and send emails. Cool!
